[squid-users] Squid + ecap + clamav

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.

I've been using Squid + C-icap + SquidClamAV + ClamAV for a long time in 
order to filter web content.
However this has lately been troublesome, leading to occasional 
hard-to-diagnose temporary failures ("ICAP protocol error").



So I'm pondering moving from ICAP to eCAP, like described here:
> https://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/ContentAdaptation/EcapForClamav

According to that page there are no disadvantages wrt to the previous 
config.

However, I tried compiling the eCAP ClamAV adapter, but the code looks 
very outdated WRT to C++ standards (but I can fix that) and possibly 
also to ClamAV (giving compiling errors due to missing symbols).

Is this info still relevant?
Is this something worth investigating or is it outdated/deprecated?

  bye & Thanks
